Biz-picks for leaders (even aspiring ones)

Here are a few links to fantastic resources that will help you through developing your business — terrific complements to what MaRS provides.

Alex Osterwalder – Business Design

eVenturing – the Kauffman Foundation has put together a tremendous collection of resources for entrepreneurial ventures, covering all of the key aspects of a business (people, finance, marketing, operations, etc.). Well-written overviews and how-to’s.

Manager Tools – a couple of tech-savvy guys who give applied advice on how to manage people in your organization – not just what to do, but also how to do it (it may seem relatively easy now, but you will need to learn these skills as your company grows). The best thing is it’s provided in podcast format (as well as a blog), making it easy to take in during your commute.

I highly recommend both of these resources to everyone who works in any sort of business or with other people.
